Jeff Apter recounts the birth of the Australian live entertainment industry in this tell-all biography of Lee Gordon

Lee Gordon made big money and lost big money. He played hard and was generous to a fault. The wins, the losses, the successes and the flops it's all included in this nostalgic look at the birth of live entertainment in Australia.

Lee Gordon was a man larger than life, he was charismatic, a born salesman who didn't baulk at taking risks.

Lee Gordon Presents ... would be of interest to anyone interested in the music industry and its connection to Australian history.

I’ve heard my Dad’s stories of seeing Satchmo and Ella and Sammy ‘in the days’ and mum’s stories of Col Joye- so jealous. And I pick up Leedon vinyl when I spot it while crate digging now. This book brings it all together for me. A fabulous read - factual enough to satisfy my curiosity but written in a way that made me feel like I was there watching it unfold. Really enjoyable read - thanks Jeff Apter for taking the time to write about this important part of Australia’s music history!!
